After Everything (UP Series #1)

AE 26

Chapter 26

Nagpatuloy ang buhay ko bilang intern sa BDO. My colleagues congratulated me and as a thank you, nag blowout ako. Napaka approachable nila at hindi nakakailang pakisamahan kahit pa mas mataas ang posisyon nila sa amin.

After I won as Miss UAAP, I received a lot of offers from different modeling companies. Noon pa man, nakakatanggap na 'ko ng offer sa pagmomodelo ngunit mas dumagsa pa nang nanalo ako. I even got an offer from a huge company in showbiz but I rejected all of it.

I know that it's a blessing, an opportunity, a dream of many people that come, only once in our lives but for now, I cannot accept it. I'm not ready for that. Kuntento na rin ako sa pagba-vlog.

Isa pa, kailangan ko munang tapusin ang pag-aaral ko. Lalo na ngayon na pa-graduate na 'ko.

If showbiz and modeling are meant for me, I believe in the right time and God's plan. And when that right time comes, I will accept that wholeheartedly. Sa ngayon, hindi ko pa talaga feel iyon.

Tapos na ang trabaho namin sa araw na ito. Sabay kaming lumabas ni GF at kita ko na agad ang dalawang lalaking nag-iintay sa kani-kanilang sasakyan.

Adam smiled at me and walked towards me.

"Hi!" He greeted me when he stopped in front of me.

"Parang hindi nagkita kahapon, ah!" si GF.

I chuckled because of what she said. "Weird mo," I turned to Adam.

"Let's go?" aniya.

Agad akong umiling, mabilis na naalala kung saan nga ba ang tungo namin. Tumawa s'ya at kinuha na ang bag ko para s'ya na ang magbitbit niyon.

"Adam..." I said nervously. "GF!" I turned to Daniella with my eyes distend a bit.

They both chuckled at my reaction.

"OA mo, GF," Daniella said and pushed me a bit para makaalis na.

I frowned. Yabang mo, GF! Parang mas kabado ka pa nga sakin noon, e!

And why would I be scared? Ngayon ko lang naman mami-meet ang pamilya ni Adamson!

Few days ago, I received a DM from Kendra. Adam's younger sister. His only sibling.

She sent me a message to invite me on her birthday.

Nasa kwarto ako noon. Katatapos lang mag-edit ng vlog at nag-aayos na ng mga order sa GF Cosmetics. Lumalago na ito at mas dumarami pa ang umo-order. Kung noon, nakakaya pa namin dalawa ni GF na i-handle, ngayon, mukhang kailangan na namin kumuha ng tao.

I was busy checking GF Cosmetics' website when my phone vibrated beside my MacBook. I glanced at my phone, no plans of opening it but when I saw that it was a direct message on instagram from an unexpected person, I immediately checked it.

kendratrevino sent you a message.

I clicked it and went to her message.

kendratrevino:
Hi Ate. I hope you see this. I'm Kendra, Kuya Adam's younger sister. I always watch your vlogs and I'm a fan of yours. I also want to congratulate you for winning Miss UAAP. This coming Friday, it's my birthday and I know Kuya Adam will invite you but I just want to send you a message. I really wanted to invite you personally Ate, but since hindi pa po tayo nagmi-meet, this is my way. I hope na makasama ka kay Kuya sa birthday ko. Thank you. Hihi.

Bahagya akong kinabahan sa nabasa. I stared at my phone for few minutes. Hinihintay na mag sink-in lahat sa akin.

This is Kendra Trevino and she invites me to come to her birthday? Is this real?
